The 2010 Mississippi Medallion Award Winners are Fireworks Gomphrena, Electric Lime Coleus, Purple Flash pepper and Gulf Coast muhly grass. Mississippi Medallion Award Winners are selected each year based on their ability to thrive in Mississippi’s hot, humid summers and cool winters.This past weekend, I was at the Fall Flower and Garden Fest at the Mississippi State University Truck Crops Branch station in Crystal Springs. I was impressed by how great these 2010 Mississippi Medallion winners looked, despite the cooler temperatures.
